“Now that Palin is officially out, I am supporting Cain. I am hesitant though, because if he doesn’t take shots against Mitt more, you have to wonder if he is playing only for veep for Mitt. He did support him in the past. “
My thoughts exactly. I haven’t fully boarded the “Cain Train” yet until I see if he’s really willing to go after all the liberal positions Romney has taken. It’s also questionable if he has the finances, organization, and desire to go all the way. He’s polling really well now and getting lots of press, but just a few weeks ago it’s rumored he was very close to dropping out.
He’s still going ahead with his book tour, rather than campaigning, which to me is not the worst thing in the world, but it’s not exactly the actions of a candidate that is committed to the long haul. I’m taking a cautiously optimistic wait and see approach with Cain. I’m also still open to Perry, though he needs to have a much better debate and show some depth of knowledge on the issues. An economic plan would be nice too.
Zero tolerance on “stalking horses” I say. It’s up to everyone to prove who is not one at this point. Going after Perry and leaving Romney whole must not be the end result after the debate.

If he seriously attacks Romney, then he's serious about going all the way. If not, then he's angling for VP using the 2008 formula of:
RINO + Conservative vs. Obama
(Maybe the theory is, this time it will work because Obama is now weaker than in 2008.)
